Tanzania
Inspirational landscapes, fantastic wildlife and some of the friendliest people in East Africa all help to make Tanzania a truly memorable holiday destination. From the open plains of the Serengeti to the natural amphitheatre of the Ngorongoro Crater, one of the world's seven natural wonders, and the sun kissed beaches of Zanzibar, you'll find genuine warmth and hospitality. Seeing big game at close quarters is really hard to beat and the profusion of wildlife means that you are more than likely to spot the Big 5'. Kilimanjaro is a magnet for trekkers, whilst the island of Zanzibar offers wonderful sandy beaches and fantastic scuba diving. Be sure to visit Stone Town and wander its network of narrow cobbled streets, little changed by the passage of time.
